Nancy Ross

Partner

Nearly three decades of work in real estate has taught me that while the market may rise and fall, there are things that don’t change: trust, care, and professionalism. Each transaction deserves personal attention and the benefit of expertise.

Real estate is not easy but I’ve always enjoyed hard work. I created, produced and sold tennis clothing while attending high school. I continued to work through college while studying to become a Business Psychologist at UC Berkeley. I use that training every day to negotiate for my clients and to understand the motivations that guide us all.

I have a particular knack for pricing, marketing, and leading my clients through the escrow process to successful closings with joy and determination. I play to win and I work in partnership with my clients to make sure they are always informed and prepared. I believe in the power of teamwork and building relationships based on loyalty and mutual respect.

In 1995 I joined forces with Laura Barton and we’ve been a top-producing team ever since serving clients throughout the Westside and specializing in Beverly Hills, Cheviot Hills, Holmby Hills, Brentwood and Beverlywood, and surrounding areas. As a mother of two young adult sons, I know how important good schools are. I serve as a Beverly Hills High School Ambassador, volunteering my time helping new families move to the district.

My business has grown through the hundreds of satisfied clients who refer me their friends and colleagues. I credit my decades-long yoga practice with teaching me tremendous focus and dedication so I can better serve and care for my clients. Together we build trusting lifelong relationships as we learn, listen and engage with one another in order to sell or buy a home in the most effective and efficient manner.

Nancy and Laura are wonderful! I have worked in the Real Estate environment for over 25 years; dealing with buyers, sellers and agents daily. In a recent transaction to sell my own Westside home we chose Nancy and Laura. We could not have had better representation. They were extremely professional throughout the transaction. We were kept informed of every step and were actively involved in the decisions regarding our home. I highly recommend Nancy and Laura for your next real estate transaction.

We were thrilled with Nancy and Laura in the process of selling our house. Their professionalism, their expertise and their guidance throughout made everything run smoothly and efficiently!

We've now used the Ross/Barton team twice, first to buy our house 17 years ago and now to sell that same house. They recommended and executed a strategy that resulted in multiple offers from highly qualified buyers all the while minimizing any disruption to our lives. We would highly recommend them regardless of whether you're buying or selling.

Sold a Single Family home in 2017 for approximately $1.225M in Pico-Robertson, Los Angeles, CA.

Nancy and Laura were very professional and responsive during the entire home selling process. They helped get the word out and we got several offers even before the first open house. They were attentive to our concerns and needs. They staged an excellent open house which drew a lot of foot traffic. They were skilled negotiators and checked with us on the important decisions. They were able to get us more than we asked for. If you're looking for the best, don't look any further than these two. We highly recommend them and will use them again for future real estate needs.

Professional, always available and most helpful. They took care of all the little details in preparing the unit for sale, met with painters, repairmen, and the stagers. Made it very easy for the sellers and kept us informed every step of the way. They negotiated and created an atmosphere to motivate buyers. Sorry they do not have clones who can help us through all our real estate needs.

Laura Barton and Nancy Ross were the best real estate agents I have ever worked with. They represented me as a buyer and as a seller.

I was so impressed with their experience, professionalism, and availability when we were buying our home that we also gave them the listing to sell our home. I knew we were in great hands from the moment we met. They took care of every detail and surprises that came up when buying a home without me having to worry. They offered great information and options when there was a small glitch and solved a problem that could have been a big deal when we were buying. They were our advocates and they were always available to us.

When we decided to sell our home, we clearly did not want anyone else representing us. Laura Barton and Nancy Ross sold our home with multiple offers above asking price very quickly. I truly believe we would not have sold our home as quickly and easily as we did while also getting above market value without such great agents representing us. They work so well as partners and complement each other very nicely.

Thank you Laura and Nancy!

Bought and sold a Single Family home in 2015 for approximately $2.2M in Westwood, Los Angeles, CA.

Nancy and Laura were highly recommended to us by a close friend who had done business with them on several occasions.

Our first meeting with the team took place on September 8th and by November 9th, we had closed on our new home and moved in, closely followed by the close of escrow on our previous home.

A process that we thought could take up to six months was completed in two months to our great satisfaction because the Ross/Barton team employs a discovery process by which they assure that they understand the buyer's (and/or seller's) wants and needs in a comprehensive manner. They won't waste your time with properties that don't meet your requirements and they handle every aspect of a complicated set of transactions.

From discovery to staging and showing your current property to seeing potential properties to every particular of the purchasing process, Laura and Nancy lead their clients to achieving goal. They are thorough, trustworthy, knowledgeable and a pleasure with whom to work. They have our business for life!

I have nothing but praise for these two. They are exactly what anyone would want in a realtor. They were patient, thoughtful and genuinely caring about our needs and wants in a home. In the end we ended up with a home that is perfect for our growing family and it came exactly at the right time and right price, thanks to Laura and Nancy. I would not only recommend them , if I ever sell or purchase again in the area, I will use them again.

Power team! Attentive, knowledgeable and extremely effective. Theses two helped us buy and sell our house and I cannot express how much we loved working with them. The are the best and I highly recommend them. Seriously, the best.

Detail, service and follow-up are 3 characteristics that rival location, location, location when describing the level of performance Nancy Ross & Laura Barton brought to my transaction. From helping locate my home in an excellent WeHo location, to negotiating with the seller's agent, to finding great lending, escrow and title services, Nancy & Laura were on top of their game. They were responsive to calls, timely to appointments, tough negotiators and diligent in following up with me, my lender, escrow and title. They will be the FIRST team I call when it's time to buy or sell.

Bought a Single Family home in 2012 for approximately $2.725M in Beverly Glen, Beverly Hills, CA.

Nancy and Laura helped us buy our home in Beverly Hills. They took the time and care to show us properties in many locations.

They explained to us key characteristics of neighborhoods to consider because we were not familiar with Los Angeles having come from Canada, e.g., school boards, shopping and proximity to highways.

Nancy and Laura were most accommodating and understood our requirements as we reviewed many listings and visited a large number of homes in many areas of LA. For example we were not familiar with travel times and certain house features or lot advantages. They disclosed all the needed work for the homes that we looked at; and responded to our questions in a professional, responsible and timely manner.

We get many complements on our home that Nancy and Laura helped us buy. Their professional knowledge, conduct and contacts made us confident in buying our home. For example they helped us with securing finance at attractive mortgage rates; and negotiated important details on our behalf.

It was a pleasure to seek their help specially that we were in Canada while searching for a home. Laura and Nancy extended assistance beyond the call including scheduling home inspections at times that agreed with our travel plans.

We will buy our next home with their help and professional expertise. They have deep experience and intimate knowledge of the market, locations, and specific neighborhoods, streets and homes.

We fully recommend enlisting Nancy and Laura's help and services given what we experienced.
